PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION IN THE INFORMATION AGE: THE CASE OF THE NATIONAL IDENTITY CARD IN THE UK Paul Beynon-Davies, European Business Management School, University of Wales Swansea, Singleton Park, Swansea, UK, [email protected] Abstract The informatics infrastructure supporting the Information Society requires the aggregation of data about individuals in electronic records. Such data structures demand that individuals be uniquely identified and this is critical to the necessary processes of authentication, identification and enrolment associated with the use of e-Business, e-Government and potentially e-Democracy systems. It is also necessary to the representation of human interactions as data transactions supporting various forms of governance structure: hierarchies, markets and networks.

    The Case for the North Northern Government: Devolution to the North of England Commissioned and published by Campaign for the North Campaign for the North 1 Northern Government: Devolution to the North of England “Ring out the old, ring in the new…. Ring out the false, ring in the true.” Alfred, Lord Tennyson Campaign for the North 2 Northern Government: Devolution to the North of England Page Key Points 3 Introduction 8 1. Paying for a Northern Government 15 2. Empowering our Northern Communities 18 3. Policing the North 21 4. A Healthy North 25 5. Education for the North 29 6. Transforming the North's Economy 32 7.

A new Movement for a Northern Government 46 Campaign for the North 3 Northern Government: Devolution to the North of England Key Points • People want change. They realise the current system is no longer fit for purpose. We need a federal Britain, in which the English regions are given real power. • We need constitutional reform and ‘Home Rule All Round’, as Churchill proposed, with devo-max for the regions. • A Northern Government, covering the six historic counties of the North of England and with the power to raise taxes and make strategic decisions, could be a catalyst for change and renewal. • Transferring power to Local Enterprise Partnerships or city-regions is not enough. We need a strong, empowered Northern Government to act as an effective counter-weight to London. • An “English Parliament” would be bad for the North; it would ensure south- east dominance and entrench the north-south divide.

  • National Identity Cards Lecture Delivered at the University of Edinburgh on January 19, 2005
    Volume 2, Issue 1, March 2005 Identifying Risks: National Identity Cards Lecture delivered at the University of Edinburgh on January 19, 2005. * Wendy M. Grossman DOI: 10.2966/scrip.020105.4 © Wendy M Grossman 2005. This work is licensed through SCRIPT-ed Open Licence (SOL) . * Wendy M. Grossman is a freelance writer, a member of the External Advisory Board of the AHRB Research Centre for Studies in Intellectual Property and Technology Law, and author of the books ‘Net.wars’ (NYU Press 1998) and ‘From Anarchy to Power: the Net Comes of Age’ (NYU Press, 2001). She writes a weekly column "net.wars", appearing on the Web at The Inquirer (http://www.theinquirer.net ) and NewsWirelessNet ( http://www.newswireless.net ), and contributes to publications like the Scientific American, New Scientist, and the Daily Telegraph. An archive of the columns and her other articles, along with further biographical information are on her web site at http://www.pelicancrossing.net. (2005) 2:1 SCRIPT-ed 5 A remarkable change has taken place in Britain. Legislation to bring in the first national identity cards since 1952 has passed its second reading in the House of Commons, and forms a vital plank of the Labour government's plans for this Parliamentary session. Proponents argue that the cards – and, more important, the database behind them – will help combat terrorism, prevent benefit fraud, and streamline access to health and education services. Opponents argue that they will usher in a new era of total surveillance and permanently alter the relationship between citizen and state in this country. As recently as a few years ago, the notion of requiring every citizen and resident to register for a national identity card was almost completely culturally and politically unacceptable.

  • The Serb Lobby in the United Kingdom by Carole Hodge 2003
    The Serb Lobby in the United Kingdom By Carole Hodge 2003 The relative unity and stability which characterized Yugoslavia after the Second World War was largely contingent on a number of external factors, its international role as a halfway house between Eastern and Western Europe diminishing dramatically with the erosion of the Soviet Bloc in the late 1980s. At this point, the inherent contradictions within the state, exacerbated by the activities of political elites within and outside the country, combined to present a significant challenge to Yugoslavia's political, economic and social system, a development which went substantially unheeded in the West. The suddenness of the actual break-up of Yugoslavia created many fissures within the international community, whereby lobbying became a potentially powerful weapon in creating new perceptions to favor proponents of very diverse interests. Britain, with a permanent seat on the UN Security Council, and as a leading member of most major international organizations, was identified, especially by the Serb lobby, as a prime target in this respect. Access was sought at all levels of society, including parliament, the media, academic institutions, national and local government departments, trades unions, peace movements and other organizations, and the Royal family. In few other West European countries has there been such a powerful and extensive Serb lobby during the recent Balkans war.1 For the purposes of this analysis, the concept of lobbying is to be understood In terms of political and other activities by groups and individuals seeking or reaffirming access to lines of communication within the British establishment which might influence decision-making, either formally or informally, and contribute to shaping a particular view of events and circumstances relating to historical and contemporary developments in the region.

  • Nuclear Testing
    23 AGENDA d'EM No. c-.-rC- cpz, .--*-a-a-. Counc-illor Louise Fyfe IGlasgow District Council City Chambers GLASGOW G2 1DU 12 September 1995 Dear CL!kXy&Q NUCLEAR TESTING I recently attended the International Union of Local Authorities Congress (3-7 September) in the Hague where 90 countries were represented by 1,500 delegates. The Steering Committee of Nuclear Free Local Authorities organised an emergency meeting to gain support for a resolution submitted by IULA's Area - Pacific Region, Local Authorities to oppose nuclear testing. L The following statement was later agreed unanimously by the IULA Council. 'Local governments and their citizens in all the IULA Regional Sections call upon all nations to cease and desist from any nuclear testing and they further encourage all nations to continue the process of nuclear disarmament and destruction of nuclear weapons. They make this plea because of their concern for the well-being of the peoples and the environment and because they want to discourage all nations from resuming the nuclear arms race'. I am encouraging all local authorities to take action to protest in the strongest possible terms against all nuclear testing, and to adopt similar resolutions. This is particularly important as the present Government have failed to speak out on this issue. I have enclosed our briefing paper for Councillors produced at the end of July. I would also like to invite your New Authority to use this opportunity to make a commitment to join the Nuclear Free Local Authority movement and help work towards a nuclear free world.
